CITY NEWS IN BRIEF Amusements Today. HARQUAM QRAND-Hojt's "A Tera. Steer." C?TB THEER (Washington Btreet) A Hindoo Hoodoo." IffiraoUOLTTAx THEATER (Third street Kor Crrford Stock Companr. J2S?88URa Sevcath aod - fC SAI.TATIOKIBT. A teatl alighted from a Washington-street car wa5' j001" at the intersection of Wth and .started for the sidewalk. A boy jras standing on the crossing about three JJorning Oregohlan." It was raining at the time and the boy had his bundle of papers under his coat to keep theta dry. It took only a traction of a second to Jv?1! !" and ot long o see a red-shlrted Salvation Army man was acorchinff down Washington street. He naw that it would not be possible to pass 1? e theiman and to boy and prompt ij headed for the narrow passage be tween the boy and the curb through "which he dashed at express speed. He would have missed everything but for the bundle of Oregonians under the boy's coat, which f protruded several Inches be hind Tiim. ZThe scorcher's arm struck this toundle -whirled the boy around like a teetotum, scattering his papers all over the street, making his Jaws rattle like castanets, and rolling him over and over. He was up In a Jiffy, his hair standing up like a fright wig when the string Is Smiled. He evidently expected to find Wmself; broken in several places, but no sooner -was he on his feet and had filled 2ils lungs than he saw that he was all "Tight, and -expended all the air in his lungs in yelling after the Salvation man, who bad not slacked his speed, "Oh, praise the Xiord." This was not Intended as an expression of thankfulness but as a. jeer at the Salvation shouter, and as . he was out of reach of anything further 3n the line of abuse, the boy gathered up his cap and his papers and wentun' with his business. ""v Hops Are Harvested. A hopbuyer "who has been roaming through the hop yards of .Marlon, Polk .and Benton Coun ties, says that the hop crop in those counties is practically harvested and saved In good condition. There are some yards where the hops have not all been picked yet, and on low land they are beginning to mold a little, but practic ally there will be no loss. In some yards not a day passed from the beginning to the end of harvest when some picking was not done. Messrs. Gilbert & Pat terson, who had 90 acres of hops, prob ably the largest acreage in Polk County, have picked every hop In their yards and got them in in good condition. They Iliad a bid crowd of good pickers and rpushed the work as rapidly as possible, and are well pleased with results. A sale of 200 bales of hops at Salem on Saturday at 14 cents per pound Is re ported. Many are holding on foT 15 cents or more. Some doubtless will hold on too long. Civit. Service Examinations. The "United States Civil Service Commission Invites attention to the examinations which will be held In this city during the month of October for positions In the General Land Office service iTVnm the ellgibles resulting from the examina tion it Is expected that certification will foe mado fo fill the following named po sitions and for similar vacancies as they shall occur, with salaries from $300 lo $1200 per annum: Clerksffand messengers In the land office at Burns. Or.; Walla Walla, Wash.; Bozeman, Mont.; Missoula, Mont.; Coeur d'Alene, Idaho; Clayton, IN. M.; Douglas, Wyo.; Montrose, Colo.; St Paul, Minn.; Denver, Colo.; Miles City . Mbnt,; New Orleans, La., and Santa o. N. M. Persons desiring to compete shou'd at once apply to the Commission at Washington. D. C, for application bl?.nks. Fair Dock Shooting. Duck hunters all along the river had fair shooting Sunday. No one killed a large number but all got some and most of them got as many as they expected. Mosj of the sportsmen -will go duck hunting next Sun day and "not break the law by going after pheasants, although the season for upland "birds opens -on Monday. Some think be cause the season Is so late and the birds bo well grown and because they can only jget out on Sunday, the Game Warden anight overlook their going out one day ahead of time. It will, hbwever, be hard ly safe to violate the law and take chances of gaining undesired notoriety. Some will go Into the country Sunday night and get the Monday morning's shooting and let that content them till the next Sunday. That will be better than violating the law. Robin Butcher Arrested. Deputy Game Warden Prettyman on Sunday ar rested Gus Dangolse. a Frenchman, re siding on Johnson Creek, on a charge of shooting robins. Mr. Prettyman has been trying for some time to catch Dan golse who has been shdoting robins of late, and Sunday caught him in the act He was badly scared, as well he might no, wnen caught at such work. He said he was hunting rabbits and not robins, but on being searched several robins were found In his pockets. He was held for trial by Justice Kramer. He will probably be tried today and if convicted will undoubtedly be heavily fined. Gus Emerick, charged with shooting Chinese pheasants out of season, will , also be tried in Judge Kramer's court today. Bad Neighbors. Mrs. Danziger, who owns a house and lot on Madison street just above the City Hall, is making life a burden to the officials around the City Hall, in her demands for justice. A laundry on one side and a building -occupied partly by a family and partly by a dog-raising establishment on the other, have, Mrs. Danziger asserts, practically destroyed the value of her property. The last tenant sne naa was a Chinese, but not even a Chinaman can live in the house now, and she can obtain no re dress. She tries to get even by giving others no rest, and the end is not yet. Possibly suits against the "doggery" and ae laundry as nuisances might be main tained, but Mrs. Danziger is the person to find out. Incorporations. Articles of incorpor ation of the Storm Cloud Consolidated Mining & Smelting Company were filed yesterday in the office of the County Cleric The incorporators are J. H. Mar shall. Frank S. Grant, Zoeth Houser and O. M. Hosendale. Capital stock, $2,000 000 Articles were filed of the .Columbia Roof ing & Refining Company.

Capital stock, $5000. XJntortunate Blacksmith. Peter Clarke, an aged and dissipated black smith, was found in his shack at Hills dale a day or two ago in an uncon scious condition. It Is not known how long he had been lying in this condition. The County Commissioners had him tak en to the County Hospital, and he is still unconscious. He is .suffering from urae mlc coma, caused by Bright disease. There is but slight prospect or 'Ills re covery. Mushrooms in siib MjOiket, Mush rooms were in the market by the bushel yesterday morning and sold at 15 cents per pound. The greater number of them were the little "button'.' ones which most people prefer. A dealer remarked that people were not -half so eager to buy them when they were 35 cents per pound as they were when the price was 25 or 50 cents per pound. Vehicle License Ordinace Unchat, i.nNGHD. License offlcera continue- to make arrests of persons who fall to pay license on their vehicles. Up to ves terday afternoon no suit had been "brought to restrain the city from collecting the vehicle license. The city authorities have no-Idea but that the validity of the ve hicle license ordinance will be sustained. Do Not Fail to attend the illustrated lecture on Cape' Nome, by Rev. J F Ghormley, at First Christian Churchr tol night. : Bird Lovers Mnnf. An interesting meeting of the John Burroughs, or Bird Lovers, Society was held at the Unitarian Chapel last evening. Rev.J William P. Lord, the president, occupying the chair. Final arrangements were made for award ing -prizes for compositions on native birds to the ninth grade pupils of the public schools of OregDh. Various mem bers of the club told of their experiences during the Summer in the study of birds. Some notice was given of the migration of birds from the north which is now tak ing1 place. One member reported having seen yesterday a number of golden crown sparrows, the bird of which John Bur roughs speaks in a recent Issuo of the Century Magazine and on which ho wrote a poem while on his trip with the Harrl man expedition; which was -published af ter his return in June, 1S99. Fred Bohl man displayed a number of specimens of birds to members of the club, some of them altogether new, especially Clark's crow or Clark's nut-cracker, first re ported by and named after Clark, of tht1 Lewis and Clark expedition. Hardship on Small Dealers. A citi zen who believes in the justice of the vehicle license law and considers It the only practicable method for securing the repair of streets this Winter, was yester day remonstrating with William Gadsby, who is taking an active part in trying to defeat the license. Mr. Gadsby said he was as anxious to have good streets as any one, and while he could not see the Justice or the vehicle license law, which he looked upon as double taxation, or worse, he was not personally opposed to it for he could stand to pay the license, and he knew his wagons did their share toward wearing out the streets. He was opposing the license in the Interests of small dealers and poor people who really could not afford to pay this license, as they were only making a bare living. He Quoted several instances In which the ve hicle license worked a hardship. It Is hardly likely that any such law can be enforced without working a hardship on some one. Street Railway Extension. The ex tension of the Corbott-st'reet line of the City & Suburban Railway Company south has been completed to Nevada street, Fulton, and east of this street to within a block of the WhltehoUse road. The line has been ballasted in a very com plete manner with fine gravel from east of the city, and is as handsome a bit of railroad as can be found anywhere. Just when the line will be extended to the cemetery or by exactly which route, has not yet been definitely decided. The ex tension will be put In operation some time this week. The First-street exten sion will have the cross over at Grant street and the connection with the line on that street put In this week, and before long City & Suburban cars will be running on First street and out on Corbett street to Fulton, which will re lieve In some measure the strain on the Third-street line. Good Houses Are Scarce. Persons de siring to rent houses complain that ther are none to be found. Agents say there are no houses to be had and this Is cor rect as far as "desirable houses" are concerned. There are numbers of shacks In some parts of tho city which no one would care to live In which are empty and are likely to remain so. The longer they Etand the less likely they are to bo occupied. There is here and there a good house which Is too large and the rent too high to suit most people. There are a large number of houses In process of construction, but there are none of them for rent. They are either to be occupied by the builders or are already leased. More comfortable houses of about eight rooms are needed and could be' leased in advance at liberal rates. Good Fishing. The friends of Messrs. Newklrk and Wallace, who are on a fishing trip at Frizzell's, on the McKen zle, will be pleased to learn that they are enjosing fine sport Mr. Peet, or this city, who has been at Frlzzell for the past three weeks, arrived home Sunday and says' that on the first day after they arrived at Frizzell's. Messrs. New klrk and Wallace went out and caught 60 trout, weighing over GO pounds. Some of them weighed two and one-half pounds. Each of them hooked a 17-inch rainbow trout in the same pool at the same time arid after a long and desperate fight both we're landed.

' THjj ' MORKlSra" SERVANT GIRL ' FAMINE" DOMESTICS SCARCE EVEN' FANCY PRICES. AT The Stove nnd Sink Is Fortcnlccn rot ilie Counter and the Typewriter Householders Uneasy.- ''Girls Wanted" is the sign that Is hanging on the door of every employment agency In the city. "Girl Wanted" is the heading of ail the want advertisements that are appearing in the daily hwespn pers for positions open to women. There ,1s a forbodlng scarcity In the domestic labor market of Portland. Wages of the maids who practice the almost lost art of general housework are jumping up, but for love or money positions in house holds' cannot be filled because those who desire to do the work are not to be found. In no other line of women's work is thcro a scarcity. "Advertise for a stenographer or a type writer girl," said an employment agent yesterday, "and I would guarantee ycu 150 applications in 24 hours. We daily re ceive 10 applications for such position where we receive one -for general house work." Meanwhile dinners are going uncooked. Sweet-faced matrons are struggling single-handed .against the oppressing burden of household cares. Beginnings of domes tic disputes, visions of future doctor bills, and homes going to rack and ruin are confronting the household managers who are grappHng with the servant-girl prob lem. "For heaven's sake, send us a girl as quick as you can," said an angry man at an employment agency yesterday af, ternoon. "I have been doing the work myself for ' two weeks and am almost tired of it" While the agent was pacifying this man with promjses, "B-r-r-r" Went the 'phone and the following one-sided conversation gave a clew to ono side of the servant girl question: "Hello, Mrs. Blank. "Ytts, I know you have been waiting two, weeks for a girl. "Why don't you get one? Well, I'll tell you, Mrs. Jones, none of the girls will jro there. They all know you. You are black listed. The girls say they are not treated right "Yes, I know. Every word of it's false. Why, of course, it was the family that lived there before you. But the only thing for you to do is to move or" else change your manner of life. Good-bye." "Now. that's an actual fact There are places to which the girls positively re fuse to go. They say they are not treated right by the mistresses; that their rooms are In the cellar, or Just under the roof, cold, , damp and disagreeable; that the wages are not forthcoming when due, find so on. "In what lines Is there a scarcity of women's labor? Wholly in domestic lines. There are scores of openings for good cooks, girls to do general housework, waitresses, chamber-maids, second maids, nurse girls, dish-washers, pantry-cooks, In fact every branch of housework or women's domestic work. And the wages are everywhere from $10 to $30 a month. Including board and room." Just then came another telephone Inter ruption, and the agent ' returning said: "Now, there's a peculiar case. A promi nent housekeeper Just telephoned In for a servant . girl, and she added. 'But I must Insist that you do not send me an American , girl. Send me a girl of any nationality but American. I am an American and I regret to say It, but I can't tolerate an American servant girl.' That Is only one Instance. There Is a tremendous demand for foreign domes tics. French maids, and German and Scandinavian domestics. These all receive the maximum wages. $25 to $30 a month, and are well liked by their employers. Negro servants also receive good wages. Chinese and Japanese are now lh great demand, since .the servant girls are so scarce." Another employment agent was asked the reason for the scarcity in the mar ket, and answered: "The chief reason is because household work Is distasteful to American girls. The girls have gone to the stores and the factories to avoid housework. Shorter hours, eaual wages. grea ter independence are the inducements which lead girls to forsake housework. In the latter occu pation they are often unkindly treated, and uncomfortably housed, and in some cases actually stinted as to their food. Hundreds of girls previously engaged In domestic work have obtained work in factories recently started up, and many have not yet begun work since their re turn from the hopfields. At present w could place several hundred girls in good household positions If we had them. On the other hand, we advertised last week for a stenographer and typewriter. We had 50 .applicants, and of those several were willing to work several months for nothing, and others for $10 a month." At one agency a capable looking woman was waiting for "employment as a wait ress. "No Jmore housework for me," said she. "No more slavery in a kitchen. At my last place I slept In a room off the kitchen In the basement. 1 had no place to receive my company. Thursday aft1 noon, when done with my work, 1 was off until 5, and Thursday evening I could go to the prayer-meeting If I wished. Sunday evening there was a late dinner, after which I was at liberty to be out until 10. From 5 in the morning until J at night for room and board and $18 a month I worked, and that's my last work at such a task." , Meanwhile the problem Is ansolved,"but there are rumors of a servant girls' union tl'nt will tackle the nuestlon and attemnt DESERVES IT. Remarkable Success of a New Treat ment for Piles. For many years' it has been supposed that the only absolutely sure cure for piles was by surgical operation, but the danger to Ufo and pain and expense has been so great that many thousands suffer for years rather than submit to this last resort; or they seek the temporary relief In the many remedies claimed to relieve piles and rectal troubles, salves, oint ments and similar simple remedies which give only slight and very temporary re lief. A new preparation which Is painless and harmless, but which affords Immedi ate relief and In may cases a completo cure in a very short time, is sold by drug gists under the name of Pyramid Pile Cure. It is in suppository form used at night and Its regular use has cured thousands of obstinate, long-standing cases, and it seems to be equally effective In all the various forms of piles, whether Itching, bleeding or protruding. The Pyramid Pile Cure allays the in flammation and Intolerable Itching, "re duces the tumors, and its astringent properties cause the enlarged blood ves sels tocontract to a normal, healthy condition. A Baltimore gontlemati Telates his ex perience with the Pyramid Pile Cure In these words: "It affords me unusual pleasure to add my indorsement to those of others, rela tive to your really wonderful pile rem edy. I was a sufferer for years until told by a fellow salesman of the Pyramid Pile Cure. It has entirely cured me and I cheerfully send this for publication If you wish to use it in that direction. I wish you would send me one of your little books on cause and cure of piles, J i aesire to snow it to some friends.' Any pile suffeTer may use 'the Pyra mid with certainty that it will give in stant relief and regular use. a perma nent cure and the still further certainty that it contains no cocaine, morphine or I metallic or mineral poison.

PORTLAND, Or., Sept. 23. (To the Edi tor.) IJiaye just read in The Oregonlan an account of the brutal and unwarranted killing of the colored man, Wlillam Jones, at Arlington by Deputy City Marshal Frank Farrier. I do hope that you will agree with me that you are fully justi fied in calling to your aid the strongest WordB in the English language In de nouncing this terrible outrage as well as the custom of appointing men to such an office as are natural cowards and brag garts, unfit to earn their living In any occupation requiring earnest and con tinued manly effort, but who are often seeklhg an opportunity to surround them selves with legal excuse for committing such fiendish acts of brutality as will bring their names Into print and cause them to be talked about The man who caused tho appointment of this man Far rier to this position is almost equally culpable, for he should have known his disposition and character better than to have given him an opportunity to wan tonly take the life of an Innocent men. Where Is there a man wifb, strong In the consciousness of his own peaceable conduct and confident of his perfect fright without molestation or hindrance to do just as he was doing, would not resent the arbitrary and bullying order to shove up, his hands? The statement that Jones made a move to draw a weapon Is too old and threadbare to need a passing word. This He Is always perpetrated un der like circumstances. The fact of Jones having no weapon about him proves that the word lie is not too strong, and that the weapon-drawing theory Is only nut forth bv Farrier to hoodwink the people and partially justify his con- I duct He is as guilty of murder as many I who are now spending their lives in pris ons -or have ended them on the gallows. The very least that can be done Is to hold Up this man for the contempt and abhorrence of all people and to utterly condemn the lack of judgment of the one responsible for giving him this Op portunity for the commission of such a wholly unjlstlfled and terrible act. If not frowned down, the best man. any man, is constantly liable to be shot to death with as little cause as was Jones. Who can tell how soon the reader of this will bo the next victim? W. M. R. Smallpox Cases. Some little excitement was cre ated in the health department, yes terday by the report that " thero were several cases of smallpox on the East Side. Health Commissioner Mene fee Investigated the matter and found that Freda and Herman Frederick, chil dren of A. Frederick, residing on East Twelfth street, were sick with smallpox. A sister ot Mrs. Frederick from some landing up the Columbia had been visit ing tho family and after she was gone the family went to some hopyard up the Columbia and there broke out with small pox, and at once returned home. There Is one child in the family which as yet shows no signs of having the disease. It was arranged that Mrs. Frederick should go to the pesthouse with the two sick children, and that Mr. Frederick should stay at home in quarantine and take care of the other child. Mr. Freder ick seems to have been afraid that he would be taken to the pesthouse and so disappeared .and has not been located. This was very foolish, as well as dan gerous to any community In which he may locate. Herbert Wentworth, 36 years old, residing on East Thirty-sixth street, has developed symptoms of smallpox. He Is said to have come here lately from Cal ifornia, and has no connection with tho Frederick family.
